Target Information
The enzyme 3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase 1 transforms testosterone into 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone and converts progesterone or corticosterone into their respective 5-alpha-3-oxosteroids. It is crucial for sexual differentiation and androgen physiology. The Srd5a1 gene is highly expressed in the mouse liver, and its deletion leads to reduced cortisol clearance, resulting in a phenotype similar to "relative adrenal insufficiency." In this condition, while ACTH and cortisol levels remain normal, there is a diminished response to ACTH and stress stimuli, which could be linked to abnormal negative feedback regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary axis.
